Exposure Music Awards East
Music
Discovering, developing and delivering new talent!
Mercury Prize Winner Speech Debelle will headline Exposure Music Awards East, when the East of England’s freshest new music discovery platform launches at The Junction in Cambridge, on November 10th 2009.
The date has been added to the 26 year-old rapper’s first National Headline Tour, as Speech and her three-piece band tour the country to support the launch of her Barclaycard Mercury Music Award Winning album, Speech Therapy.
“We are so excited that Speech has agreed to perform at EMA® East”, say the Organisers, “It’s a major moment for us – and for all the new artists who will be recognised at The Awards.
With ten Awards, including Best Rock, Best Pop, Best Punk, Best Dance, Best Urban and Best Live!, Exposure Music Awards East is all about discovering, developing and delivering new talent.
Fine new talent METIS, The Electric Riot, SHIFTER X, Black Bikini Alpha, MAKER and Hella Cholla provide a night of almost non-stop music, before hip-hop sensation Speech Debelle performs a full set as part of her first National Headline Tour since becoming Mercury Prize Winner 2009!

Reem Kelani
Music
Reem Kelani, the Palestinian singer, returns to the Junction two years after her successful residency in the Heart of the World Festival in May 2007. Across Cambridgeshire, she is known as much for her work introducing Arabic music in schools and community groups as for her concert performances before packed houses.
Reem’s 2006 release “Sprinting Gazelle – Palestinian Songs from the Motherland and the Diaspora” continues to attract acclaim. The CD is a major contribution to wider appreciation of Palestinian music across the world, as is Reem’s message important as a counter to the “Orientalist” tendencies in “World Music”.
Her remarkable ability to reach out across cultural boundaries has seen her recently combining in new, original ways with Karde? Türküler, acclaimed Turkish collective, with the legendary Turkish gypsy clarinettist, Selim Sesler, and with Portuguese Fado singer, Liana.
Reem’s set for the Junction will include songs from Sprinting Gazelle as well as from her next CD focussing on the music of the Egyptian composer Sayyid Darwish (1892 – 1923).
Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult.
Doors / Bar open 7pm.
